Source for '99 Spec Brake Backing Plates/Dust Covers?

Does anyone know where I could source a set of backing plate/dust covers for the '99 spec RX/RZ brakes? I know I can cut the lips off the stock ones but I would rather have the correct sized replacements.

Thanks

I think I ordered mine during the last group buy. Otherwise, you have to find a vendor that can order the parts from Japan.

BEFORE, you consider doing this, realize that to change that backing plate for the rears, you have to buy and press in new bearings. Not an easy or cheap job just to add dust covers.

You'd probably just want t get used 99 spec whole hub carriers w/ bearings already in them. Not worth it really.

I have them on my car but don't have a means of removing them. The 99 kit is coming off soon.

That's what you ask the buyer for cash to cover ;-)

My rear suspension is apart so this is not a show stopper. I didn't realize that the bearings would be destroyed though...

Does the front have the same issue?
